OK this is a series that i've completel passed by. It started back when i really didnt watch TV, and just havent taken the time to dip in.

Is it worth starting from the beginning?

I would say it is imperative to start from the beginning, as this is a story about a progression told over five seasons. There are no stand-alone seasons, or even episodes. The theme of a perceived chaos within a system of cause and effect is best observed when looking at the story from a whole.

I am going to try and watch the entire run before it airs, although I will probably not make it. I will then continue watching the first four seasons while season 5 concludes. It's a strange show that would benefit from watching previous seasons concurrently.

Three days! Look alive, people, it's happening! Also, FWIW, Monday night features a Mythbusters Breaking Bad special. Vince Gilligan and Aaron Paul will be on hand to discover if the bathtub scene from season one holds any water, and whether, "This? Is not meth." is a pile of BS.
